\"slope-intercept\"\"

\

\

\

The line equation in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

\

Write the two functions as co-ordinates.

\

\"\"

\

\"\"\"\"

\

\

\

First find the slope

\

\"\"

\

\"\"         (Substitute \"\")

\

\"\"             (Product of two same signs is positive)

\

\"\"               (Subtract: \"\")

\

\"\"                  (Add: 2 + 1 = 3)

\

\"\"                    (Divide: \"\")\"\"

\

Next find the y-intercept

\ \

Substitute the slope and the coordinates of the given point \"\" in slope-intercept form equation.

\

y = mx + b

\

15–2(–2) + b                   (Substitute 2 for m, – 2 for x, and 15 for y)

\

154 + b                            (Multiply: \"\")

\

15 – 4 = 4 4 + b               (Subtract 4 from each side)

\

15 – 4 = b                            (Apply additive inverse property: 4 4= 0)

\

b = 11                                  (Subtract: 15 – 4 = 11)\"\"

\

Finally write the line equation

\

Substitute the values of slope ‘m’ and y-intercept ‘b’ in slope intercept form line equation.

\

y = mx + b

\

y = –2(x) + 11                    (Substitute 2 for m and 11 for b)

\

y = –2x + 11                      (Simplify)\"\"

\ \

The function is y = –2x + 11.
